I think what you want is the /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser setting. When true, you get the old non-spacial Nautilus view. This setting has nothing to do with the mounted volumes, though. Those are maintained by hal. Nautilus is notified when a new volume becomes available and will show an icon for it.
